Regional Conference on Digital Diplomacy

About the Annual Conference

Rapid development and interconnectedness have directly transformed practices of diplomacy as an instrument of foreign policy. One of the many interpretations of diplomacy in the digital age refers to the use of various social media platforms and Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based innovations to conduct diplomacy and leverage outcomes.
As a tool, digital diplomacy is being utilized by almost every country in the world. However, it remains a challenge to understand its effectiveness and limitations, as well as on how it changes the core function of diplomacy.

Adding to the challenge, as one of the most dynamic digital landscapes in the world, home to the fastest adopters of new technologies and the largest concentration of mobile and social media users, Asia-Pacific has offered a divergent approach in adopting digital diplomacy.
The annual conference will serve as a platform for governments and stakeholders in the region to discuss opportunities and challenges regarding how diplomats and stakeholders use ICT to communicate and formulate policy recommendations. Digital Diplomacy conference will also enable future cooperation in narrowing the technological and digital divide in the region.
